Cole is a hot mess right now.

And he got royally screwed on the Andrus walk.

But mostly he's a hot mess.

Arlington gets 5 runs on 4 hits and an error (Correa booted a 2-out grounder) in the first.

Alternatively,  it's time to get a leadoff double then proceed to leave him right fucking there.

2 on,  no outs.

Double play,  strike out looking.

This is terrible.

That's twice there's been a runner on second with no outs, and twice that runner didn't score.

Springer singled.



Altuve grounded into a 5U FC. Third baseman hurt his shoulder throwing to first.

Rangers going to the pen.

2 on, 1 out.

Rangers get one back with a 1 out Gallo double (hanger, again) followed by a single by Cabrera.

Cole then walks Forsythe.  AJ makes the call. Mercifully.

Devo in.

Deshields triple clears the bases and closes the book on Cole.

4.2 IP, 9 R (8 ER).

Shortest appearance as an Astro.

Brantley leadoff (bad hop) double followed by a Correa sac fly to deep center and a Yuli laser beam lineout to 3rd and a Reddick flyout to the track.

3rd time tonight they've had a runner on second with no outs and failed to score in the inning.

Bregman hit on the right arm by a pitch.

He stayed in but it looked like it smarted.

Brantley then grounded out to end the inning.

Guduan in to pitch the 7th, down 9-4.

Gets Cabrera looking on a good breaking ball at the botton of the zone.
Forsythe F7 on a 1-2 pitch
Kiner-Falefa works a full count,  gets rung up on a nice breaking ball on the inside corner (slider?)

Better from Guduan.

He needs to do it again.

Just a point of order...it cannot be a sac fly unless a run scores.

I wouldn’t know about massive cock, and I missed the game, but the recap doesn’t assuage my concerns about Cole’s ability to handle adversity.
